He used to tell fans that Will’s sexuality was left to their own interpretation before this.

His sexuality was referenced in episode 8 of season 4 when Will gave Mike a pep talk during a car ride.

Clearly, he was referring to his own feelings while disguising them as Eleven’s love for Mike.

Schnapp explained that this scene “solidified” Will’s love for Mike and fear of coming out.

Fans have walked up to him since the season’s premiere to say they related to Will’s character.

[{"selector":"#anim-705403d8-cec0-4b74-9c1a-8679c3c3bd31","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3c305295-f58c-402b-8c39-06096d96bd15","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(115.14195%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c9a00b4e-adf7-4699-9e3a-7c3177bd2209","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

He revealed that he didn’t know Will was gay until season 4.

[{"selector":"#anim-27f3e36e-3d72-4a87-8d78-f108e4c61562","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3f40c393-8cbd-45ab-9dd3-e126f4c85146","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.82649%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-957499d0-da9a-4403-adde-fe1b60d32efb","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Fans criticized the show's writers for failing to give Will an actual coming-out scene.

[{"selector":"#anim-90024bd9-7188-4271-b232-88cfd7485701","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-219054ea-72fb-4341-a84f-cfb0a217c8ea","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.82649%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3588c1dd-bbf5-4c17-b96d-3d8d05f79d8c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Schnapp defended the character by noting that it was difficult for him to come out as gay when the show was set.
